The answer to your question is difficult without seeing a photograph or yourself in consultation. Each person is different and recommendations will vary according to the persons anatomy and desires.

In general, a neck is treated differently than the face. The key to the neck is to obtain a smooth neckline that is contoured.  The extra fat in the neck is removed and the muscles are tightened. I don't think a deep plane or extended smas technique makes a difference in the neck. These procedures both work well and really depends on the ability of the surgeon.
